So you are allowed to "put your dick into anybody you can't fucking mail a letter to." but only as long as you only do it on one occurrence per person? Once you hit occurrence two, that is verboten?

Don't those rules strike you as a bit finicky?

CdM is as finicky as a fine lace doily made out of brass and brushed steel.

You know, I'm just going to start posting in David Foster Wallace style, complete with footnotes¹, as apparently every post has to be grumblered².




¹the kind of footnotes he didn't think he would need, not unlike that first year law school student's paper he once found as he took shelter from the rain at the bus stop, where the ink from the red pen had run like so much ironic uterine blood across the issue of standing in Poe v Ullman.

²grumblered, in such a way that each and every post must be specifically relevant and related to each previous post, as to survive the strongest scrutiny of academic peer review in next quarter's American Journal of Assburgers. 

I wish you'd do this with all your posts. Excellent work

I don't. One can kill you - the other had the misfortune of becoming an "issue" when pharma companies wanted to make money.

Herpes simplex was not always stigmatised. It was merely a cold sore in an unusual place until the 1970s. As late as 1975, a study of "Psychological morbidity in a clinic for sexually transmitted disease" does not mention herpes simplex because at that time, no significant morbidity problem (i.e. mental anxiety or illness) was associated with the virus.

Pedro Cuatrecasas states, "during the R&D of acyclovir (Zovirax), marketing [department of Burroughs Wellcome] insisted that there were 'no markets' for this compound. Most had hardly heard of genital herpes..." Thus, marketing the medical condition – separating the 'normal cold sore' from the 'stigmatized genital infection' was to become the key to marketing the drug, a process now known as 'disease mongering'.

That said herpes does raise the risk of HIV.
